It has to be said that whilst reading this thread, I've been sat here
silently with phrases like 'Storage-Area Networks' buzzing around my head.
I agree that multi-terabyte and even petabyte sytems are possible today
using technologies better suited to them... ufs in not the way to do it...
it might look impressive, but for redundancy and performance it justs
seems there are better ways of doing it by breaking it up into lots of
smaller filesystems (and I'm not necessarily talking about NFS or
disk-partitioning.. :)
